Linear Way L Series

ML
LWL

The IKO Linear Way L has two rows of balls that contact the raceway at four points. Despite its very small body, it provides stable accuracy and rigidity even in applications where load has variable direction and size, or complex load is applied. The stainless steel specification, which is the base model, is available in a range of shapes and sizes that can be selected according to the application.

Interchangeable

Standard Type and Wide Rail Type

The slide unit is available in a standard type and wide type, the latter suitable for use with a single track rail.

Length of Slide Unit

Three stainless steel ball retaining types with the same cross-sectional dimensions but different slide unit lengths are available: short type, standard type and high-rigidity long type. They can be selected according to the application.

Stainless Steel and High Carbon Steel Types

Stainless steel types, with excellent corrosion resistance, are also available. They are ideal for use in cleanroom machines and equipment, such as medical equipment, various disc readers and semiconductor manufacturing devices. The high carbon steel type, with a track rail that can be modified, is used for general-purpose applications such as conveying and equipment handling.

Ball Retention

The slide unit incorporates a ball retaining band which prevents the ball from dropping down when the slide unit is removed from the track rail, making it easy to handle.

Tapped Rail

The track rail is available in the standard specification where the bolts pass through the through hole downward, and the tapped rail specification where the track rail is threaded. Since the mounting direction can be selected, it offers a wider range of options in machine design.

Special Specification

Under seal

The seal is attached to the bottom of the slide unit to prevent foreign substances from entering from underneath.

With C-Lube plate

The C-Lube impregnated with lubricant is attached inside the end seal of the slide unit, so that the interval for reapplicating lubricant can be extended.

Special environment seal

The standard end seal and under seal are replaced with seals for special environment that can be used at high temperatures.
